Nike Air Max 1 Ultra 2.0 LE

With March Madness upon us, it’s surely a popular time for kicks — both sport-inspired and more lifestyle-oriented. The Nike Air Max 1 Ultra 2.0 LE straddles the line between both, and looks crisp, clean and eye-catching in the process. Nike churns great-looking sneakers every single week — seemingly every single day — but this is no ordinary pair from the footwear behemoth.

The Air Max 1 Ultra 2.0 lives up to its name (“LE” stands for “limited edition”) and these kicks in particular are celebrating the 30th birthday of the Max Air line with touches like a special “3.26” date on the tongue, and classic cushioning through the heel. Plus, the red-and-white combo is as sharp as it gets. Wear these to watch the later rounds of the NCAA Tournament, wear ‘em with light wash denim and wear them with your favorite hoodie on the weekend for classic style. – $120
